6. Attachments: Do not use attachments not recommended by your appliance dealer, as they may cause
hazards.
7. Water and Moisture: Do not use the camera in any location in which it may be exposed to water or
moisture. (For example, dripping, splashing, or liquid near equipment etc.)
8. Accessories: Do not place the camera on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The camera may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the camera. Use only with mounting accessories
recommended by your appliance dealer or sold with the camera. Any mounting
of the camera should follow your appliance dealer's instructions.
The camera must be installed in a location or on a piece of equipment that can
withstand three times the total weight of the camera, including the lens, camera,
mount, adapter, etc.
9. Any appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation: The camera should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The camera
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or your appliance dealer's instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources: The camera should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of power supply for your installation site, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Power Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the camera.
13. Lightning: For added protection for the camera during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will
prevent damage to the camera due to lightning and power line surges.
14. Overloading: Do not overload the wall outlet and extension cord, as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
15. Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into the camera through openings, as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the camera.
16. Servicing: Do not attempt to service the camera yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
